National Read Across America Day is part of a year-round program that integrates reading activities into daily, weekly, or monthly schedules, with major celebrations in March, including National Reading Month. Since its launch in 1998 by the National Education Association (NEA), the program has engaged a wide range of participants, including teachers, politicians, athletes, and community members, to promote reading through events like reading challenges, proclamations, and school activities. It encourages children to explore diverse books that reflect various experiences and perspectives, according to NEA.
